Wen Na pulled out another dagger and handed it over, and I followed her example, holding back the nausea and grabbing the cold and slippery thing.
"Bite me?" The dagger Wen Na gave me was very sharp. I just touched it lightly and the snake's head broke immediately.
"What a knife!"
"gave it to you."
Wen Na folded the snake skins she had taken off a few times and made them into the shape of a backpack.
"Hey, you are so skillful with your hands." Wen Na knew so much, and I became more and more curious about her.
"for you."
"Do you want me to carry this?"
"This is for you to wear."
...
This is more exciting than carrying it on my back. Do you want me to wear a snakeskin vest? ! So disgusting!
Wen Na looked at my expression of resistance and said, "It's okay if you don't want to wear it now, but you have to wear it on your body later. Although your spirit body can ignore these injuries, your body can't. This skin will have Very useful."
Wen Na took out a small glass bottle and took out some snake venom. I followed her example and took some too. She packed up a lot of snake meat, snake gallbladder, and snake bones. Then, like magic, she made a big bag and put all these things together. Stuffed in.
"With such a big bag... it's a bit conspicuous..." With such a big bag, some people thought we were going to catch the train.
"Little guy, watch carefully."
There was actually a little pride and pride on Wen Na's face, but she called me little guy! What the hell?
Wen Na looked at me and smiled, swung her backpack behind her shoulder, and the big bag of things just disappeared!
I ran behind her to look, but there was nothing.
"How did you do it!"
"This is very simple for Yuanren."
"Now I'll teach you how to use the dagger first. You hold it like a kitchen knife."
"I've never used this thing before. I use kitchen knives all the time. I'm a chef."
"Do you cook often?"
"Yes, I cook it basically every day. My cooking is delicious!"
"If I have the chance, I would also like to try it." Wen Na listened to my words and answered me very seriously.
Seeing her sincere eyes, I felt ashamed of the narrow-mindedness I had always been wary of towards her... She didn't notice my mental activities and soon started calling me out on how to use the dagger.
"The dagger is mainly used for stabbing. It is the most suitable weapon for you now. It basically stabs, scratches, and picks. Although the wound is small, the damage caused is very deep, especially like this."
Wen Na grabbed a snake, stabbed it in, and then cut it open. In less than two seconds, she completed the disembowelment.
I saw the snake's blood splattering and felt dizzy.
"It's almost time for your spirit body to come out. It's great to have persisted for so long in the beginning. Now go back."
Wen Na supported me, I closed my eyes, felt my heartbeat, and my spirit body returned to my body.
"Sister Wen Na, are you a spirit or a body?"
"I am both a spirit body and a clone. For a metahuman like me who has certain awakenings and special abilities, the spirit body is the body, and the body is the spirit body. To use the meaning you can understand, it is - clone."
"ah?"
"But it's not that exaggerated. After all, it's difficult to operate both ends of the consciousness. I can be two people, I can do two things at the same time, and appear in two places at the same time. However, there is also a huge gap in the power of the two me, just like the flow of energy. It's like a seesaw. If I expend more energy on one end, I'll be weaker on the other end."
"What's the other end of you doing?"
She smiled again and didn't answer me.
"Put this on quickly."
I reluctantly put the snakeskin vest on my body.
Then she put the dagger into a leather holster and tied it to my calf.
After doing this, she suddenly held her stomach and exhaled softly.
"Is it okay!"
She turned pale at this time and waved her hands feebly.
We were fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this!
"Seesaw..." She said weakly, and I understood that it was her on the other end who was consuming a lot of energy, or maybe she was separated for too long and consumed a lot of energy.
Suddenly, her whole body seemed to be shocked by electricity, her whole body bounced up, and then she disappeared!
But it appeared again the next second. I saw her body shatter and disappear like pieces of pixels, then reappear...
I was thrown into a panic by the sudden change. In this darkness, the only person who gave me hope and warmth and care suddenly became like this...
Another heavy blow, and Wen Na's whole body was bounced away by an invisible force. I couldn't catch the disappearing pixels, and she just disappeared...
I sat in this dark cellar for who knows how long. I felt that she might not appear again, and I couldn't remember the words that I used to call her here.
"The only way you can really get out of here is by yourself." This is what Wen Na said to me when we first met.
I want to get out of here! I can no longer sit back and wait to be slaughtered!
Thinking of this, I closed my eyes, and the spirit came outside the barbed wire fence again.
I drew out the dagger she had given me and walked through the snakes again. Several snakes also attacked me. I ignored them and allowed them to attack. I had to get out.
A fence appeared behind the pile of snakes. The distance was not too narrow. I grabbed the fence with my hands and tried to get the spirit body out.
But my palms felt like pins and needles!
How is this going? Aren’t spiritual bodies immune to harm? !
I took my hand back and saw many thorns thinner than a hair piercing into my hand. This was the source of the pain I felt.
What's the mystery of this fence? The poisonous black iron snake just now did no harm to my spirit body...
I looked up along the fence and saw a scary face.
What a face that is!
It was as if it had been completely melted by fire. The bright red tender flesh that had just grown was wrinkled and shiny, and there was no hair on the head. Where the eyes should be, there were two dark holes!
This face is scary enough, but what's even scarier is that this face is tilted right now, looking at me from less than half a meter above my head...
Who is this person...
Did the shelter arrange to detain and guard my people?
No, no!
I quickly calmed down. Wen Na said before that an entity cannot cause harm to a spirit body, unless... he is also a spirit body? !
I faced that scary face again. He did have human features, but as the railings of the fence moved slightly, I finally saw clearly...
This is not a human being at all... nor is this a fence in front of me...
He and the fence are one!
This is clearly a giant spider with a human face! The movable fence is the long legs of this thing, and what sticks into my hand is the cilia on its feet! These tufts allow the spider to crawl on vertical smooth objects.
I remember seeing in a popular science magazine that there was an ogre spider with only 6 eyes. However, due to the huge difference in size, many people thought it only had two eyes. These two huge eyes basically have the same functions as human eyes, and are extremely good at night vision. Not only do they allow the ogre spider to have a wider field of vision, but they can also hunt for food or avoid natural enemies at night.
This...couldn't this be an ogre spider...
The ogre spider eats so many humans that it grows human facial features?
I pretended to be calm. I would definitely not be able to outrun it, so I could only take a gamble. What does such a big spider feed on to survive in this dark cellar?
The giant spider with a human face soon told me the answer...
It waved its sickle-like tentacles and picked up a black iron snake that was wrapped around my feet like noodles! It was so fast that I didn't even have time to react before I heard the sound of sucking. It was like eating noodles. It picked it up and put it next to its head. It sucked in a thick black iron snake without spitting out any bones.
I am a spirit, I am a spirit...it can't hurt me...it can't hurt me...
I silently recited these words in my heart to cheer myself up...
For a moment, I didn't know whether to run back or continue to slip through the gap between its feet and the fence.
I took two more steps forward, and I saw its few fence-like steps, with fine cilia squirming on them.
It's sensing me.
